2023 Earth Advantage Awards
Oregon sustainable builders rake in awards for climate-friendly homes
For more than 10 years, Earth Advantage has recognized builders who are committed to building single-family and multifamily homes that are healthier for residents and the environment. Award winners must participate in Earth Advantage’s home certification program, which provides third party verification that the homes are built above code, prioritizing efficiency, durability, comfort, and health.
"The project teams that participate in Earth Advantage’s home certification program play a critical role in normalizing healthier, sustainable building practices. Our 2023 award winners are true leaders in the field, and we are honored to recognize them for their efforts.”
—Rebecca Heilig, Director of Carbon-free Construction
